Handmade food labels make a party table feel considered and help guests find their favourite dishes. These folded cards use a small paper rosette for a decorative touch.
Cut your materials
- Cardstock: 4 × 3 inches for each label
- Patterned-paper panel: 2.75 × 1.75 inches
- Rosette strip: 11 × 1 inch
- Double-sided tape, craft glue, ribbon and optional gems
Make the standing card
Score the 4-inch side of the cardstock at 2 inches and fold it into a tent. Attach the patterned-paper panel to the front with double-sided tape.
Fold a paper rosette
Score the 11-inch strip at half-inch intervals and fold it into an accordion. Join the ends to form a ring, then gently bring the ring’s inner edge towards the centre to create a flat rosette. Secure it to a small paper circle with suitable adhesive and hold it until set.
If using hot glue, an adult should handle the glue gun. Attach the rosette to one side of the label so it leaves space for clear lettering.
Keep the labels useful
Write the dish name in a readable colour and include relevant dietary information only when you can verify it. Repeat the paper colours across your labels for a coordinated table.
